Comin' 'Round the Mountain



She'll be comin' round the mountain, charmin' Betsey

She'll be comin' round the mountain, Cora Lee;

Oh, if I never see you any more,

Just look at my ring an' think of me.

(or, Dear Lord, remember me.)



A rich man lives in a big brick house,

A poor man does the same,

I live down in the old county jail,

Lord, a brick house just the same!



A rich girl drives a big limmerseen,

A poor girl does the same;

My girl drives a model T Ford,

Lord, she's ridin' just tbe same!

From Ozark Folksongs, Randolph
